Payment Policy
Patients with Insurance Welcome! Our office contracts with many insurance companies and plans. Your insurance company provides you with proof of insurance, which must be presented for all services provided. If proof of insurance is not presented, or if your declared PCP is not affiliated with FM Medical, your account will be considered a cash account with full payment expected at time of service.
If we are contracted as family medicine preferred providers with your health plan, we will bill your insurance company directly. If we are not contracted providers with your insurance company, we expect payment in full at the time of service. We will be happy to provide you with the information you need to bill your insurance company for any eligible reimbursement.
